Can't purchase? There is not enough memory available. There was an error in

I agree. I just want to be able to download songs. Period. I don't WANT all that extra garbage that I will probably never use anyway! Why are they going "Bill Gates" on us, anyway? It's that "planned obsolescence" I was talking about earlier! If they don't rectify the problem to our satisfaction -- or at least let us with older systems download songs -- I'll just look for another music download source....

Thank the heavens above. I figured out a way to fix my problem so I could download iTunes 8. I just did and it works perfectly. I'm able to download songs and everything. Try the upgrade, it works like a charm.

They are actually going Adobe on us. "Would you like to update?"
"Would you like to update?"
"Would you like to update?"
"Would you like to update?"
"Would you like to update?"
"Would you like to update?"
"Would you like to update?"
"Your content can only be accessed after an update. Downloading..."

"I'll just look for another music download source...."
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..... good one. Independent voters have been saying this for years too. "I believe that I'll vote for a third party candidate."

They all do this. That's the beauty of capitalism. You can have it any color you like, as long as it's black.

An upgrade to iTunes 8.0.2 worked for me which establishes an MO for Apple wrt iTunes, tolerate older versions only for couple .0.x revisions of the newest one. Oh well, this is the greenest grass I've found so far so I'll stay here. Minor nuisance in comparison to the rest of life.

Im still stock with this messge error, not enough memory when trying to buy from Itunes Store,, its been a while, anyboody knows when is gonna be overe and fixed? thanks

An upgrade to the latest iTunes version resolves this problem.

Well to save you wondering if the Apple will give any of us refund - the answer is NO.

Here is the repy I have received after I asked to get my money back:

+I understand that since your computer does not meet the system requirements you+

+would like a refund. I am very sorry to hear you have run into this issue. I+

+will do my best to assist you!+

+Your request for a refund was carefully considered; however, according to the+

+iTunes Store Terms of Sale, all purchases made on the iTunes Store are final.+

+This policy matches Apple's refund policies and provides protection for+

+copyrighted materials.+


+You can review the iTunes Store Terms of Sale for more information:+
+ http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/sales.html+

+I would recommend that you ask someone who has a computer that meets all the+

+system requirements if you can download your purchases. Once you have found a+

+computer that meets the requirements, reply and I will allow you to redownload+

+all of your purchases. After downloading onto that computer, you can burn all+

+your purchases to a disk and copy them to your computer.+

+I hope you continue to enjoy the iTunes Store, and if you have any other+

+problems with this issue, don't hesitate to reply to this email, and we'll be+

+more than happy to help you out! I hope that this information will assist you+

+with your issue. Thank you for contacting the iTunes Store Support Team. Have+

I'm having the same issue.(XP SP2/2GB RAM/200GB HDD/iTunes7.5)
But another pc(XP SP3/2GB RAM/100GB HDD/iTunes8.0) doesn't have the error.

Thanks for the tip:

+"What I found worked was if I went to the "Top Songs" page for an artist I could download from that page without any problems. I still can't download directly from a specific CD/album but was able to buy most of the songs I wanted using that trick."+

It worked for me. A neat workaround whilst we're waiting for Apple to sort their problem out. They must be losing $$$ so you'd think they'd hurry up.

Hi - unfortunatley it does not help.
You can now only download songs from iTunes store with iTunes version 8.
This version is only compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista.
So if you have Microsoft OS, it will not work with any older versions 😟
But if you have XP or Vista download version 8 and all your problems will be solved.
If you still want to use iTunes.
I am definitley going to use Media Monkey and Winamp in the future.

I'm in exactly the same boat regarding this - I tried to upgrade to version 8.0 but my version of Windows XP does not allow this !! I've emailed support, so can only echo what has already been said on this forum regarding if everyone emails the support team then something may get done !! This is not exactly a great advert for Apple customer satisfaction - has anyone seen any complaints regarding this issue in the wider media ?

I've downloaded iTunes 8 and have Windows XP Pro and itr still doesn't work like others in this thread have suggested....

What is the latest? Apple said they'd e-mail me but I never got a response from them.

Does anyone that loaded iTunes 8 and had it work have any tricks to use ?
OR is this a bonified iTune problem? There are mixed mssgs here...

Me too, getting this message, the only thing i did different was to rent a movie. The movie is now gone but i'm getting the same message of not enough memory.

Don't wait for Apple to "sort out the problem" because they won't!
I have received reply from the support that if I cannot install the latest version of iTunes they cannot help me.
See my message further up in the thread.

Hey, i just upgraded to version 8 and it worked. No more memory message. Now let's see if the darn thing will sync with my car. the last time i upgraded, which was about 1 year ago it screwed up my car connection. I figured that out with the help of you folks online, (no thanks to Apple). So I've been afraid to upgrade. Cross your fingers. I just purchased something and i'm headed out to my car. LOL
